The talent agency system in the Japanese geinokai does not work in the way you would think. In short, most actors do not pick and choose projects; they're assigned projects. Talent agencies are like temporary employment agencies: the talent agency finds work for their clients, where deals are made between the agency and the executives of a drama project. Especially with Johnny's Jimusho, every assignment has some sort of strategy behind it for the long term of the agency and its client.
For example, let's say Kimura Takuya wants to experiment with his acting abilities by taking a part in a drama project that is uncharacteristic of him. His talent agency will not allow him to do something like that. The agency basically owns Kimura and his image, and anything that would change the image - good or bad - is avoided.
Regarding Code Blue, medical dramas have always been popular with the Japanese. Also, lead parts in medical dramas is one of the top types of parts that display an actor's abilities. Others are attorneys, professionals such as CEOs and other company positions, politicians, teachers, sports figures, detectives, etc. I'm taking a wild guess here in that maybe his agency wanted Yamashita-san to play a physician. Those types of parts do not pop up that often, so an opportunity at any given time must be accepted.
Thank you for your in-depth explanation on the "why". Isn't Yamashita-san agency Johnny's Entertainment?
